Shiny Bits


 

It’s been a while since I’ve popped on over to the old HoCoBlogs page. It makes me feel a bit sad to see it plugging along by itself, like a robot going through the motions long after its human creators have gone. The rise and fall of HoCoBlogs as an entity and a community will have to be a story for another day, though.

Yet again I’m charmed by Mike Hartley’s blog, THREW Mikes EyEz. I know I’ve sent you over there before. I think you’ll enjoy this particular post, entitled “Regroup.” His description of wrestling with a reclining chair is priceless. Or perhaps - - just maybe - - I have far too much personal experience.

You can learn a little more about Mike Hartley here.

Also recommended this morning is this from WMAR Baltimore on local podcast Hacking Humans from Cyberwire. The story, “Hacking Humans: Local podcast shares insight into the cybersecurity world,” features Columbia’s own Dave Bittner, well-known to local theatre audiences as well as for his vast community involvement. Once you read up on the podcast you might just want to take a listen. 

One last plug: have you subscribed to the Howard County Library’s weekly newsletter, “Library HiLights”? It shows up in my inbox every Saturday with tons of fabulous ideas and information. A fun tidbit this week was this video promoting this year’s Evening in the Stacks, “Serata Virtuale.”

I’m off to order Instacart before both the SuperBowl shoppers and the impending snow frenzy render that a complete impossibility.

Getting Fresh

One of my favorite days in the Spring comes when this year’s list of Farmer’s Markets is released. That happened this week. New this year are markets in Old Ellicott City and the “Merriweather Market” which, according to the address, will be located here . I mistakenly thought at first glance that it was in the new-construction part of the Merriweather District. I find the name confusing considering its actual location. I’m going to guess that this market is an initiative of the Howard Hughes Corporation because the name seems chosen more for branding purposes than anything else.  Alas, the market in Maple Lawn is gone. The thread on the markets on the County Executive’s FB page will provide you with quite the education in who actually runs the Farmers Markets vs what people often think is going on. Short answer: they are not  chosen nor run by the county. Each market is an independent entity, sometimes started by community volunteers, other times supported by local businesses...

Teacher Gifts

Today is the last day of school before the Winter Break. It’s a good time to remember the far-reaching nature of our public school system. You may not have children. You may have sent your children to independent schools. It matters not. You will be impacted one way or another. Yesterday I read a long thread on Facebook about several waves of illness in the schools right now. There’s influenza A and norovirus, I believe. And of course there’s COVID. Apparently in some individual schools the rate of illness is high enough for school admin to notify parents.  When I was little the acceptable holiday gift for a teacher was one of those lovely floral handkerchief squares. (I don’t know what it was for male teachers. They were rare in my elementary years.) These days the range of teacher gifts is wider and I have fond memories of Target gift cards which I have written about before. I think it’s safe to say that giving one’s teacher Influenza, norovirus, or COVID is not the ideal holiday...

They Can Wait

This is not a typical Saturday post. That’s because, in my community, it’s not a typical Saturday.  Oakland Mills High School, after years of deferred repair, needs massive renovation. It’s pretty simple: when you don’t fix a problem it gets bigger. The school system itself said the the OMHS school building was  "no longer conducive to learning" back in 2018.  2018 .  But Thursday the Boad of Education voted to push it out of the lineup of important projects which will be given the go-ahead to proceed soonest.  In my opinion it’s a terrible decision and sets a dangerous precedent. To explain, here’s the advocacy letter I sent in support of Oakland Mills High School. I was rather proud of it. I am writing to ask you to proceed with needed renovation at Oakland Mills High School in the most timely and comprehensive manner humanly possible. I have read the letter sent to you by the Oakland Mills Community Association and I am in complete agreement. You are extremel...
